If the channel is using HLS for playback we don't currently support casting it. We previously did. I tried quickly switching back on support but that failed (the whole player stack has changed). So I'm afraid it's unsupported for now.

I really think chromecast is dead for plex. Which is really stupid.

I hope we push developers and channels will work again.

Other films work good with surround sound via Chromecast. Plex for example knows that AAA 5.1 codec from June 2017 doesn’t supported by Chromecast and plex transcoded automatically AAA 5.1 to EAC3 5.1 without problems for Chromecast only.

No other app in AppStore who can do it. Only plex. (Emby probably too, don’t check Emby)

So Chromecast alive, but need to push developers to channels (plugins) fix.

When logs (server or client app) are requested for an investigation, please do NOT turn on "verbose" logging unless it is explicitly requested. Verbose logging makes things much more difficult in the majority of cases.
